John, I don't want to give too many clues but, yes, they're 44's. Ian

John, that's my take on it. Are they a thing for rough roads or solid tyres or something? Ian

Graham, after today, I would say no. The scenery was good, the cycling hard with relentless undulations, the road good, relatively little traffic, but so many loud motorcycles that it spoiled my day. There's a whole industry here to make motorcycles as loud as possible - remove the muffler and fit an expansion pipe. It's simply unbelievable that the population can be subjected to this noise. Why support it? Let's cycle somewhere peaceful.

Ian, is the suspension just on the fork braces and relying on the fork itself to flex ?

I like the bicycle deflecting rails between the front and back wheels !

It'd be a big claim to be the best and I'm sure you could have stood one or two more logs up in the back corner. Honestly is definitely the best policy Wal.

Oooh that's a good one Wal ! One of them full of water, some with holes and one with stakes showing . . . Were they just 44s or something else ?

Same principle as the Vietnamese ones Ian. I find the light attractant ingenious.

Magnificent ! A tribute to the suspension of that bike !

That would certainly keep you concentrating !

Ian it’s looking as if the south coast of Java would be a good area for a short, relatively comfortable, unepic cycle tour.
Excellent reconnaissance by you.

John, thanks for all of your comments. I enjoyed reading them. Ian

Their chooks might have had a lot of green pick Ian ?

I'm not sure how to monetize that type of enterprise ! They look like bloody socialists to me Ian.

I'm pondering if porridge sellers in Indonesia have a higher standing than I've experienced ?
